Vitjdbc

Vitjdbc is a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver that provides access to virtual tables. Unlike traditional JDBC drivers that connect to a physical database, Vitjdbc allows developers to interact with data that is not stored in a conventional database format. This can include data from files, web services, or even in-memory structures.

The core concept behind Vitjdbc is the use of virtual tables, which are essentially defined schemas that map to external data sources. When a query is executed against a virtual table, Vitjdbc intercepts the request and translates it into the appropriate operations for the underlying data source. This abstraction layer enables developers to query diverse data sources using standard SQL, without needing to write custom code for each source.

Key features of Vitjdbc include its ability to define custom data mappings, handle data transformations, and support standard JDBC operations such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE where applicable to the virtual table's capabilities. It aims to simplify data integration by providing a unified interface for accessing information from disparate sources. Vitjdbc is particularly useful in scenarios where data is distributed across multiple systems or where a lightweight, file-based, or memory-resident data source needs to be accessed via SQL.
